Eta-2 Actis-Class Light Interceptor by legorevolution

Edit: .bsx file (to be opened with brick store then possibility to export to bricklink) made available by Ulysse 31, downloadable at this address: eta2.bsx

At first glance this version of the Jedi Interceptor seems familiar to us. We were treated to several sets containing this vessel with its characteristic canopy and this in different colors (7256 Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid, 7283 Ultimate Space Battle7661 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor).

But the comparison ends there, the studless MOC of legorevolution keeps only the canopy and the deflectors on the wings. The cockpit is fully furnished and can accommodate a pilot without a problem and the retractable landing gear is a model of ingenuity.

But the revolution did not stop there: it declined this Starfighter in five versions in different colors. And to top it off, it offers the pictorial instructions for building this model.

So you have no excuse not to go straight to his MOCpages page.

As a bonus, the video-review of this MOC which will occupy you 3 minutes and will convince you that this Jedi Starfighter is simply excellent ...

3866 Battle of Hoth

While the board games released by LEGO usually go almost unnoticed by AFOLs, it is one that many are eagerly awaiting. My little finger tells me that it's not necessarily to spend long hours around frenzied games, but rather to get my hands on the series of microfigs than the game 3866 Battle of Hoth will contain.

I'm not a fan of these games offered by LEGO even if they have the merit of allowing quick games with relatively simple rules. This set 3866 Battle of Hoth I'm obviously interested in the ten or so miniatures provided, and I think we should see many mini / micro scale MOCs featuring these characters when the game is released, scheduled for February.

So a question torments me: Are you going to buy this game? if so, will you buy it to play with or just get the microfigs? I think I know the answer but I only ask to be surprised by your comments ...

Ewok Treehouse by hohesC

There is the set tree 9489 - Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper, some will be satisfied with it, and others like HohesC prefer to build a real Ewok hut with its platform perched on top of a tree in the forest of Endor.

The result is really interesting, the SNOT platform wonderfully reproduces the wooden floor and allows to exhibit many minifigs, and the slope en Trans Green do not shock me: they make a credible foliage on this scale.

6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase

It's Samuel, a young and loyal reader of this blog, who points out to me this once again disturbing and disappointing detail: The box and all the official visuals of the set 6864 Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase presented Two-Face and his two henchmen with a colored hand Light Flesh and the other Dark Bluish Gray.

Everyone who has received the set so far has obtained minifigs with two hands in Light Flesh.

This type of error, no matter how small, should not happen. The consequences are minimal for consumers, but again this error will fuel a hypothetical speculation on the exit of the set with the hands in. Flesh et Dark Bluish Gray as presented on the box.

Dewback by Omar Ovalle

For this first MOC of the year, Omar Ovalle offers us a beautiful creation with this very ingenious Dewback. The creature's head may be lacking in bulk, but overall the result is convincing.

This MOC is the first in a new series announced by Omar Ovalle on his flickr gallery and which will include in particular creations of the Action Figures... To be continued.
